Big Lie, Small World

I sat down and wrote this letter

Telling you that I felt better

Since you'd gone and I was free

I'm so happy

I have so little time to spare now

I'm wanted almost everywhere now

I make out like Casanova

Friends are always coming over

Signed my name as if I meant it

Sealed it with a kiss and sent it

The letter had improved my mood

Happy in my solitude

But halfway home I changed my tune

And when I saw my lonely room

The mirror caught my eye

When I sit down I cry

Big lie small world

Big lie small world

I had to intercept that letter

Telling you that I was better

I raced to catch the postman's van

He was leaving as I ran

I miss the bus I miss the train

I end up walking in the rain

Big dog chased me down the street

I hadn't had a bite to eat

Feeling sorry for myself

Wishing I was someone else

I walked across the city

'Cause I couldn't stand your pity

Big lie small world

Big lie small world

The place you live looks opulent

And obviously a higher rent

Than our cozy little room

I had this sense of doom

The landlord says you're out of town

That your new boyfriend's always around

The hour was getting late

So I sit down and wait

Here's the postman with my letter

Coming down the path, he'd better

Give that thing to me

I have to make him see

Begging doesn't do the trick

He thinks that I'm a lunatic

And then who comes upon the scene

But your new boyfriend Mr. Clean

I hit the postman, hit your lover

Grabbed the letter ran for cover

The police arrived in time for tea

Said they'd like to question me

I can only curse my fate

I have to face the magistrate

It hasn't been the best of days

I'd like to fly away

Big lie small world

Big lie small world
